In the dead of winter, fans will be given a chance to warm up to the Rockies.

The club will hold the first-ever Rockies Fest for season-ticket holders Jan. 24 at Coors Field from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event will feature members of the 2009 team, along autograph sessions, clubhouse and press box tours and interactive games for children.

It will be restricted to the first 5,000 season-ticket holders due to the limited indoor space. Other big-league teams open their event to everyone, but the Rockies wanted to dip their toes in the water before holding a larger-scale function.

“We want to take it slow and easy and see how it goes first. Our priority is to make sure everyone has the most enjoyable experience possible,” Rockies spokesman Jay Alves said today.

Reservations will be taken by phone at 303-ROCKIES starting Dec. 9 at 9 a.m.
